Cremation Gaining Ground.

Cremation continues to win votaries
and subjects" although not at a rapid
rate, unless the believers in the system
are exceptionally long lived. From De.
cember, 1885, down to the end of last
March, the crematory at Fresh Pond,
Long Island, ~incinerated exactly 100
bodies, thirty-three of which were those
Of women. Precisely half the entire
number were natives Of Germany, the
United States coming next with eighteen
males and fourteen females; then the
figures taper off with France six, Eng
land five, Austria two, and one apiece for
Scotland, Ireland, India, Hungary and
Switzerland. At Lancaster, Pa, fifty
sever bodies have been cremated; al
Washington, Pa, thirty-seven; at Pitts.
burg, Pa. (by natural gas, eighteen, and
at Buffalo, n. Y, eleven.
To some persons these statistics ma.
seem rather CHASTITY; yet, after all, they
are not a wit more shocking than the re-
ports of cemeteries. Besides we incinerate
nor citizens yearly in effectively built
houses than in all the crematories YET

Children's Shoes.

There never existed a custom more OBJ
~jectionable on the score of taste and
cleanliness than that of rigging up chil-
dren in white kid shoes. II has grown
obsolete with the better judgment of the
people, and we only now and then see q
reminder Of it. A shoe should be made
with reference to its liability 10 come
in contact with things which may soil it.
Besides, a light colored shoe magnifies
the size Of the foot.
In some families shoes for children
that are denoted ''best'' are laid aside
and kept for full dress wear. This is a
mistaken notion. The feet of children
are constantly growing, and IL the shoes
'ft" at first they will soon become too
snug for comfort, and create pain and
possible deformities. II is better to let
the youngsters have the good of the shoes
before they outgrow them.-Shoe and

A La Tempered Fish.

thing of grotesqueness to the general APP
pearance. In this state it darts at its
real or reflected antagonist.
The Siamese keep these fishes in globes
like goldfish, and the Malays often stake

selves and their families, on the prowess

8. W. Dorsey said that the rich people Of
Amsterdam have been robbing the entire
country Of pictures by the old masters to
enrich the galleries OF that city. They
have drawn from Utrecht and Rotter-
dam and smaller cities, - said he, ''all the
examples Of Rubens, Vandyke and other
great artists that they could possibly lay
hands upon. The result has been to en-
rich Amsterdam in her art possessions
and to leave the country bare" The
hotel keepers Of Paris made out Mr..
Dorsey's bills to ''Chevalier D'Orsay."

THE DECLINE OF HOOPS.
Court Dress in the Latter Part of
the Last Century.

the Last Century.
By the end of 1887 hoops had al
most entirely gone out of fashion. In
England 1 find that at court the wear
ing of these precursors of crinoline by
ladies attending the. royal drawing
room was compulsory until so late as
1914, and one of the inducements
held out to the Princess Charlotte-a
rare tomboy who hated any restriction
ON her strong, young limbs-to marry
the Prince of Orange was that hoop
petticoats were no longer worn at
court at The Hague. Perfectly plain
skirts in all but wedding dresses
seemed to have been the vogue in
France in 1878, and the compara-
tive exiguity Of the gowns led to a
corresponding diminution in the guam
tity of material required. In Decem-
Der, 1887, the Queen had a gown OF
qrand uelOurs noir, and six yards see n
to have been the average of stuff al
lowed for the skirt of dress. 1t must
be remembered that velvets and bro
cades were woven much wider in the
last century than is the case at pres
ent. There is one entry, however, of
ten yards of green taffeta for the lining
of gown of green gauze; the taffeta
was probably narrower in width than
the velvet. The Marquise de Chas-
telux had only seven yards of white
crepe for the petticoat of a grand
habit with founces. The really
economical nature of the Queen
is shown in an invoice for Sep
tember, 1888, where she is charged
trifling sums for shortening the ends
of three muslin cravats and retrim-
ming them, and for "doing up" an old
petticoat of brown poult de sole. In
December, 1888, the Princess de LAM
bale paid ready money to the extent
OF twelve livres for pair Of Court
cuffs of worsted lace, known in mod
ern times as yak, pair of sabots and
pair of "barbes'' in black worsted.
Almost simultaneously whole bevy
of court ladies gave orders for
"sabots," "barbes" and cuffs of
worsted lace. In January, 1888, the
year of the Revolution, Mime. Eloff
| furnished the Princess de Solere with
sumptuous court dress of while
taffeta, trimmed with satin and white
jet, with a rich boquet or spray oi
roses and sweet peas, and, for a won
der, hoop. The distended dress
with its embellishments cost nearly
l, 400 livres.-[Sala in The Fortnightly

The GrasshOpper.

y
A grasshOpper sat in an oak tree green,
Mending the shoes Of the fairy queen,
For he was a cobbler of all the lays,
Yellows and purples and green's and grays;
As she sat on the limb of the old oak tree;
oh, merry and bold and ever so old,
As heard one day when this story was told
bobolink skirmishing over the way, -.
Called to the grasshopper, "Sir good day!
And the grasshopper cobbling still at hii
Answered politely, "The same to your
And nodded his head with a little bow,
Though couldn't exactly tell you now;
For the prince of good-manners-the grass
hOpper-he,
AS he cobbled away in his old oak tree!
"How much do you make by the day anf
The bobolink asked with a flrt and shrek
''Three golden leaves of the buttercupt
flower,
Three crystal drops from the latest shower
Three sacks of meal from the pollens best
That the elves shake OIL from the cowsipi
breast;
And that doth keep me both well and good
For Pm the boss obbler of all the wood.
A barefoot boy, as he came along,
Had loitered to list to the bObolink's song,
And shy stone, as well as he could,
At the little boss cobbler Of all the wood;
"You cobble shoe" he cried as ht
s'Youre the funniest. cobbler of all youi
craft
Why, your leather's leaf, and your paste
it is dew
o, what cobbler to cobble shoe"
But the bobolink answered with wrath,
As he peeped at the boy in the woodland
path,
Zach one is wisest, and skillfulest, too,
That knows Just the work that he has to do
For elfin feet those slippers are best,
That are made from the tiniest leaflets

While Natures leather seems fitted for you
As YOU wear it stillW And away he flew.

A SKETCH IN OIL.
The Greatest GusherS i'm the
World A Country Flowing
With Gas and Oil.

Writing letter from the top of an
oil tank into which the odorous fluid
is flowing at the rate of hundreds OF
gallons every minute, is anything but
pleasant, especially when one con-
templates the fact that
"Wash and scrub as you will,
The scent of that oil will hang round you
STILL
sThe derrick at Slaughterbeck well
No. 3, is surmounted by large broom
which indicates that.this is the largest
we'll of the season. This claim is dis
puted by the drillers and owners oi
other wells, but the fact cannot be
controverted that No. 3 is gushei
and no mistake.
When Blade reporter reached the
Slaughterbeck well, it was deserted
but a roar sounding like that of a
distant waterfall fell upon his ear.
Prospecting, he found that the door
to the temporary oil shanty which
covered the tanks had been left un-
locked, and mounting score of slip
perry stairs 10 the top of the tanks. a
peep into the oil cataract was obtained.
Imagine if you can circular cistern
as large as good-sized house, and
you have faint idea of an oil tank.
The tank rests upon the surface of the
ground, and may be located in a
wheat field, in forest, in ditch
anywhere the oil is found and the op.
orators can obtain room to locate
them. When the oil is flowing, moi
only the tanks, but the surrounding
buildings and the surface of the earth
is shaken by the force OF the escaping
petroleum.
CHANGING down into the depths from
the top of the tanks, the spectator be.
holds a spectacle to be remembered
ever. The oil, which has the appear
ance and consistency of thin molasses,
is churned and foaming with the
force of the escaping gas. A stick is
swept from your hand with force
like that of mighty cataract. Over
powered by the fragrance aHl awet
by the noise, you understand what a
"gusher" is.
The Slaughterbeck well are located
upon farm belonging to an old mar
named Slaughterbeck. They are
owned almost entirely by the Baum
gardeners and other parties in Toledo
and Hankey & Sands, of Bowlin;
Green. The lands are situated in {
typical black swamp forest, and land
| which few months ago could have
been bought for few dollars an acre
is cheap at any price, even though i
runs up into the thousands per acre.
"Old Man Slaughterbeck," as he il
called by the drillers, strolled out Il
} look at his farm in the afternoon. HI,
